 The official Twitter account of author Kazuma Kamachi revealed on Monday that a new Toaru Majutsu no Index (A Certain Magical Index) light novel series will launch in February 2020, titled Souyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index (A Certain Magical Index: Genesis Testament). Kamachi and illustrator Kiyotaka Haimura will continue to work on the story.Souyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index will be the third installment in the action fantasy series. The original novel, Toaru Majutsu no Index, was released between April 2004 and October 2010 under the Dengeki Bunko imprint. Kamachi began penning the sequel—Shinyaku Toaru Majutusu no Index (A Certain Magical Index: New Testament)—in March 2011, which ended with 23 volumes on July 10 this year. J.C.Staff produced three anime seasons in Fall 2008, Fall 2010, and Fall 2018, entirely covering the first novel series. An original anime film written by Kamachi titled Toaru Majutsu no Index: Endymion no Kiseki (A Certain Magical Index: The Miracle of Endymion) premiered in 2013. The novel also inspired several specials and video games. Yen Press licensed the original light novel series in English in November 2014 and will release the 21st volume on December 17. Funimation licensed the anime series for home video release in North America and will ship the second and final Blu-ray and DVD of the third season on January 7, 2020. Toaru Majutsu no Index has ranked in the top ten of Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi!'s best light novel category eight times since 2011, most recently placing ninth this year. According to Dengeki Bunko, the light novel series has sold over 31 million copies. Source: Kazuma Kamachi's official Twitter News submitted by vanillaguard Souyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index on MAL |

| Damn, this is never going to end. Congratulations to the fans of the franchise! I’ve a feeling the anime adaption has lost steam too, I don’t think J.C. Staff is going to go for another three-four seasons to cover the second novel let alone adapt this so hopefully I’ll make up my mind and actually read this. |

| This is hilarious |
 |
| Hhmn, the title sucks. I'll just call it "Old Testament" personally then. It means the same thing anyway. |
 |
| lol this will never end huh |
| As a big fan of Toaru series, I'm happy for this. |

| Well time to continue ... Don't know if i want it to end or not. Wasn't really a fan of how last couple of volumes in NT had ended. Still very interested, but kinda skeptical. Hope for Mikoto's action =/ |
 |
| Uhhh well I heard somewhere that the editor or author said that this novel will hit the 100 volumes so this was expected |

Kuro_Neko04 said: Uhhh well I heard somewhere that the editor or author said that this novel will hit the 100 volumes so this was expected That's pretty insane. I just checked the last novel. They released 23 volumes in 8, which is roughly 3 per year. If we follow the same pattern, then it's over 30 years for 100 volumes. |
 |
| Meh, even though I'm big fan of this series but seeing how NT ended not to mention the story after kamisato arc sucks too but well, I only hope that they did not show much of hamazura. |
| I'm reading this only for More Misaka Mikoto. If this new series will shows more Mikoto, I'm in then. |
 I'm starting to get embarrassed by my own forum signature line.. XD |
| The only thing that can make BT float at this point. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| Lol at those hoping for some Mikoto action. I gave up a long time ago... |
| I am happy to read more Touma and Misaka antics. |
| maybe we will finally find out who number 6 is |

| Now Loading..... |
| My biggest fear is that a lot of this won't get an anime adaption. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
